lend me some sugar, I am your neighbor

When I came into work this morning I was greeted with sad news. My boss's mother has had a serious stroke. Right now her recovery is iffy. I'm really worried about my boss- she is very close to her parents. So things are quiet and serious around here today while we wait for more news. I also feel sad/worried about some other things. I should be happier. Let's get happy:

- My back is feeling a lot better!
- I came across an excellent wedding planning book at the bookstore. I can't use it, but I wanted to reference it for you brides-to-be. :)
- Here's an accidental laugh-fest: beauty.about.com. Some of the actual names of the how-tos: "How To Apply Makeup for the First Time Over 50" (because so many women are introduced to makeup during middle age), "How To Slow Down Aging With Bananas" (what about cucumbers?), "How To Create A Hairstyle Perfect For Summer Flirting" (not for use during winter flirting).
- I got my Ouidad sampler pack in the mail yesterday! Yay for new curly hair products.
- My tub has been unable to drain for two days. I'll make this happy by hoping that the plumber will fix the problem today. It's 37 degrees, so I cannot bathe outside in a stream like the pioneers.
- Apparently, churches are finally taking notice that not everyone is getting married. This article isn't exactly cheery, but it's encouraging and I wanted to share.

In even more random news, I am forced to admit that I had never heard "Hey Ya" until about a week ago. Now it's all over the radio and I have to listen to Evan intone "You know what to doooooo" constantly. :)
